I’m staring a “We are the 2%” chant outside a domestic W (TBD) if anyone wants to join me. My list of demands are as follows:
-Breakfast that consists of more than a croissant and coffee and domestic W hotels
-Transparent SNA inventory
-No more “all suite” redemptions. I’m not aware of any other management company that allows hotels to charge sometimes 3X or more the normal nightly points rate for their category because they’re “all suite.”
